After a winter of projects and refitting I finaly got our Hunter 33 into the water and got to spend a weekend with our brand new Raritan "Cricket" head. The best way I can describe my feelings would be DEEP Disappointment! What I've discovered is that when installed PROPERLY in a below the water-line application the head will not and can not work as advertised. The pump is supposed to empty more out of the bowl than it pumps in (thereby providing the sister-in-law proofing I need).HOWEVER: when you employ a vented loop to create a SAFE system the bowl fills with sea water as you pump. The only way to counteract this is to turn the dry-bowl lever, which due to this unfortunate design is located down at the back of the toilet's base. The only way to accomplish this is on your knees reaching around with your head essentialy stuck in the bowl you have just used. If I had gone for the PH 11 at least the dry bowl control would have been within easy reach.I bought the Cricket for it's supposed simplicity (despite the fact that a rebuild kit costs twice what those for Raritan's other products do) Needless to say neither my wife or I is pleased by this addition.So Peggy, I guess the guestion is; What can or will Raritan do for us?
